I was looking for the FoE position or air flights and found this poll on
their site ..........

Are there no groups in the UK who oppose these two groups

You were asking for evidence of the 'green' position I had talked about.

'Other groups' are not the point. 'Other groups' don't make claims for AGW
either.

Your obfuscation is getting tiring. I can only assume you're not actually
interested in the subject and just want to argue sematics.

Bingo.

Look, 2pid! you found another friend!

Um, guys, I really hate to be a bother and all, but you see, to many
people words do have meanings. The funny thing is on a forum like RAO
that's all you get to see. No voice inflections, no body language, no
eye contact. All you get are the words that the poster chooseo to use
to make their point.

So, for example, when the donkey says "all greens", I tend to believe
that he really means "all greens". Not "some", not "a portion
thereof", not "the greens that I don't like" and so on. And here we
see that when the donkey's words are questioned, it's "obfuscation".
And (of course) 2pid, being 2pid, agrees.

See how this works guys? Here's another example: when I got here and
when I first saw 2pid's posts, I realized that he'd been shorted in
the brains department. So I called him "stupid". Later, after having a
chance to see him in action some more, I realized that "stupid" was
not the appropriate word for him and I began using "moron". Even later
I realized that "moron" was again insufficient and began using
"imbecile".

Now if I had just jumped in with "imbecile" 2pid could have argued, "I
am not an imbecile, I am only a moron". But by carefully choosing my
words, he has not been able to argue about his imbecility.

2pid's communications dysfunctions are too numerous to even broach.
Thankfully there is no need to as they are quite obvious to everybody
on RAO.

So we have two of the weakest communicators here whining that they are
often misunderstood. Clarification equals "obfuscation". Now how does
that work?

Yes, 2pid, "Bingo".
